Here, in reality

A sleepless night

A night of un-chosen
Sacrifice
Silent
In loneliness
Exploding
With guiltiness
Like broken glass
Into a million cries

The desperate beauty
Of your voice
Whispering
Killing words
In my ears

(written: november 2014)

Eileen T O'Neill ..... a dit…: Danielle,

You have set the scene within your poetic words; almost a stage with the background in your description. I think your cinematic interests have influenced this very precise, set of emotions...Reality, can be cruel and lingering!!
A poem written at the weekend by me and at my Blog, is called,'Reality.' we have both been visited by a similiar thought!!

Danielle a dit…: Thank you so much Eileen for your very insightful reading.. So glad it brings to your mind images close to a cinematic setting..If I hadn't written poetry, I would have loved to make films.. or maybe both... :)

Looking forward to read your poem too!!

'The poetry of Danielle Baraka finds its roots in the simple gestures of listening both to the external and the internal world. It is marked by a strong visionary imagination that transports itself on paths crossed by ancient myths and legends that her verses clearly catch a glimpse of.
The death, the Loneliness, the Love, the existential condition of Man are themes which are dear to her, considering them sometimes from far, sometimes from a closer distance, as if being herself a stone pit, death or the shining sun.
An interesting, simple and minimal poetic : essential in style,
very deep and rich in content.'
(Federica Galetto (Nightingale) (Translator, collages artist and poet, author of 'Stanze del nord' and 'Ode to a nightingale'.)
